MAYDAY procedures

[Robman1265]

My department has no formal MAYDAY procedures if anyone can tell me where I can see some procedures so I can make one for my department. It would be very helpful

The MAYDAY can be transmitted by a member in trouble inside of the building, or another member who has located a downed member and needs assistance. After announcing MAYDAY, the alarm room transmits an alert tone and notifies all units on the fireground that a mayday has been sounded and to keep the radio frequency open for the IC and member in trouble.

Montgomery County, MD Department of Fire and Rescue Services, has a very good and detailed MAYDAY policy, as well as FDNY!
